Jameson Williams, WR, Detroit Lions
Jameson Williams was tipped by many for a big year in 2025, but has started the season with three fantasy finishes outside the top 50 wide receivers in the opening four weeks. Against Cleveland in Week 4, Williams caught two passes for 40 yards, but he was targeted eight times.
Many of those targets were deep balls and potential walk-in touchdowns, but Jared Goff could not connect. Williams remains a big-play threat, and the Detroit Lions will look to get him going in the coming weeks.
Having started slowly, the Lions have scored 116 points in their last three games, and Williams’s eight targets clearly indicate that Detroit wants him involved. The electric deep threat was the WR22 overall last season and should be available at a huge discount this week.
Jauan Jennings, WR, San Francisco 49ers
Jauan Jennings remains Brock Purdy’s favorite target, but the wide receiver struggled to make an impact in Week 4. The San Francisco 49ers lost 26-21 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense continues to be underrated.
Jennings was targeted just four times, catching two, having missed Week 3 through injury. Jennings also missed some time in Week 4, having taken a heavy shot to his midsection, but should be good to go for Week 5.
Jennings has posted only one fantasy-relevant week through four weeks, finishing as the WR11 overall in Week 2. The 49ers travel to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5, where Jennings tallied 175 yards and three touchdowns last season.
